The Traitors' Leanne Quigley shares glimpse at her 12-year career in the army as she continues pretending to be a nail tech to her fellow contestants

The Traitors contestant Leanne Quigley has shared a look at her life serving in the army, ahead of her appearance on the BBC hit show.

The veteran, 28, has deviously kept her career in the Armed Forces a secret from her fellow contestants on the show as part of her strategy to win.

Instead, Leanne - who is a Faithful - has successfully duped everyone into thinking she works as a nail technician to throw them off the scent.

And it appears to be working so far, as she successfully made it through another episode on Wednesday, without being murdered or banished.

In the latest episode, she showed off her impressive fitness and training while trying to score money for the prize pot in the challenge.

After managing to score a huge number of coins, she quipped: 'All those physical training instructors in the Army will be like, if only she’d worked that hard for us!'

On her social media, Leanne has proudly shown off many glimpses at her 12 years of serving on the front line.

But in October, she revealed that she was leaving the army on Instagram, writing: 'A career of over 12 years comes to an end and I’m so proud to have served for our country. I’m ready for my next chapter.'

Last year, Leanne also got engaged, after her partner Sophie Jones got down on one knee in August.

The couple are also the proud parents of two-year-old twin boys, and Leanne revealed that is was during her pregnancy that she had decided to take part in The Traitors.

She explained that she watched the first series of the popular show while she was pregnant and Sophie had suggested that she give it a go.

Speaking to the BBC ahead of her debut on the show, Leanne said she thought she would be able to bring lots of 'enthusiasm' to the castle. 

She said: 'I think I will bring a lot of enthusiasm. I'm a really enthusiastic person. I always, even if there are things I don't want to do, try and do it with enthusiasm, because it's best to bring a bit of light into a dark situation.

'I've rewatched the show again this week, and I've been looking at it in a different light and trying to understand how stressful it is, how stressful it is going to be, and just trying to process that and understand it.

'So, I just think, if I can be my enthusiastic self, it can just try and make that situation a little bit brighter for everyone else as well. Hopefully.'

Wednesday night saw Leanne be gifted a shield from returning contestant Fozia, meaning she has immunity from the next murder. 

Outreach manager Fozia, 50, made a shock return to the competition alongside ex-British diplomat Alexander, 38, and landscaper Jack, 24, in a surprising twist. 

The threesome had all sacrificed themselves when they all volunteered to get off the train in the first episode so that the remaining contestants could head to the castle and start the game, adding £7,000 for the winner's prize pot.

However, a nail-biting challenge saw two members of the trio have the chance to return, with their fate resting in the hands of the players.

The intense challenge saw Fozia and Alexander chosen to return, meaning Jack sadly would not be joining the show.

While doctor Kasim, 33, was banished following an emotional round table after receiving the most number of votes.

But he soon revealed that he had been a Faithful all along, sending shockwaves around the castle and sparking anger from viewers.
